The 3 trees represent the highest point of the town. Excavations carried out between 1971 and 1974 by Gaston Grégor allowed the discovery of the remains of a Roman camp and a prehistoric site on that spot. . The still represents the distillation of Cognac because according to legend, Cognac was developed in Angles.
